Civilization as it is known today could not have evolved, nor can it survive, without an adequate food supply.

Without food, man can live at most but a few weeks without it, all other components of social justice are meaningless.

Yet food is something that is taken for granted by most world leaders despite the fact that more than half of the population of the world is hungry.

Almost certainly, however, the first essential component of social justice is adequate food for all mankind.

Man's survival, from the time of Adam and Eve until the invention of agriculture, must have been precarious because of his inability to ensure his food supply.
